What does "let off" mean here?

A huge let off for the Clarets on the half hour mark, as Wolves hit Burnley on the counter attack from a corner, with Adama Traore left one on one with Taylor, however, his fierce right footed shot cannoned off Pope’s cross bar.

It means escape without conceding a goal. The attacker Traore failed to score from a favourable position.
